The Greek Police (BASED ON 'Dream Police' by Cheap Trick)


The Greek police, they live inside of my head.
The Greek police, they come to me in my bed.
The Greek police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain't nice.
And when I fall asleep I don't think I'll survive the night, the night.

'Cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The Greek police, they live inside of my head.
(Live inside of my head.)
The Greek police, they come to me in my bed.
(Come to me in my bed.)
The Greek police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

Well, I can't tell lies, 'cause they're listening to me.
And when I fall asleep, bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight.

'Cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't leave me alone.
They don't get paid to take vacations, or let me alone.
They spy on me, I try to hide, they won't let me alone.
They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one.

'Cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The Greek police, they live inside of my head.
The Greek police, they come to me in my bed.
The Greek police, they're coming to arrest me.

blahness, am i the only one who has never heard of N17?
 
2002-07-04 07:58:07 PM
i have no clue what it is either
 
2002-07-04 08:00:50 PM
wow, i read the article, they seem sorta scary. No member of theirs has ever been caught. They make Al-Qaeda sound like amateurs when it comes to secrecy. Am i the only person who noticed that Al-Qaeda keeps their info more available than an open source OS?
 
2002-07-04 08:00:54 PM
huh?
 
2002-07-04 08:17:45 PM
Ahhh Greece, everytime I think about it I think of the beauty and majesty of Athens, those ancient structures like the parthenon, the phylosophy of Plato, and women who love anal sex
 
2002-07-04 08:25:40 PM
Man, November 17 is the sh*t. They rock, because the kill the rich and greedy business people. This in a way has controlled greediness in Greece. And those U.S. officials they killed were the most corrupt of them all. There almost like the Robin Hood gang without the stealing just punishment to those that deserve it.
 
2002-07-04 08:32:02 PM
This many years and they can't give them a better name?
 
2002-07-04 08:49:27 PM
I bet they have a real inconspicuous name. Something very stealthy... like "Music Television."



...OH SHIAT!
 
2002-07-04 08:59:23 PM
Machine:

uh... whatever dude
 
2002-07-04 09:10:31 PM
That is a little scary. I'm still not falling for the whole "Not one of our members has been caught". BS I say.

bla bla bla boobies.

November 17 is my birthday. Maybe I should go join up.
 
2002-07-04 09:40:37 PM
gee, i cant figure out what these terrorist organizations have in common. with so many, theres got to be something a common thread.

other than an army of occupation in their homelands.
 
2002-07-04 09:46:17 PM
The "military regime" was a puppet dictatorship installed by the U.S. They say that the socialist party of Greece (which is in power today) funds the group. They are not anti-U.S., just anti greed and power. Remember they are a socialist group. As far as I know they have not killed/injured anyone who did not have some (known) dirt on them.
 
2002-07-04 09:54:02 PM
Pfft...they're only anti-greed and anti-power b/c the people they want the greed/power that someone else has. Too bad they're not anti-killing, sort of taints their "noble" views, eh? Hopefully they'll end up in an unmarked mass grave somewhere next to members of Al Queda.

Q: How do you separate the men from the boys in Greece?

A: With a crowbar.
 
2002-07-04 09:57:15 PM
Creepy..... On the main page it said there was 17 replys, and my birthday is November 17th. I think im going to go hide now.
 
2002-07-04 09:58:57 PM
Machine: Nonsense. They have unpopular aims that they can't achieve through peacfull means. Kill them Nov 17th bums.
 
2002-07-04 10:03:05 PM
How can they force their Socialist views on others? Thats been tried. The people end up eating grass and trying to flee the country.
 
2002-07-04 10:28:51 PM
1. November 17 is my Birthday
2. Three of us in this thread share that birthday.
3. "Farkers have clicked on the above link 985 times"
4. That's pretty dead on accurate if you do the math.
5. Martin Scorsese and Danny Devito were born on Nov 17
6. one in three holders of that birthday contemplated joining because of the name. In the US, this equates to a recruit pool of 262,508 people. The terrorists have already won.
7. One in three holders of that birthday had too much time on their hands.
8. That is all...
 
2002-07-04 10:34:34 PM
I was born on November 17

and I've also already heard of them

hmmm,what does that say
 
2002-07-04 10:57:15 PM
Yeah, it's my b-day on the 17th too. And my sister's, although her b-day is two years prior to mine. Weird....
 
2002-07-04 11:09:48 PM
SquallFC:'hmmm, what does that say'

If I were to tell you the awful truth of what that means, you may very well choose to go into hiding with GuardianJDK and the hundreds of thousands of other American Nov 17'ers who have to live with the legacy of their terrible knowledge.

Or I could give you sound stockmarket advice instead. It's your choice.

Deef: I'd watch that sister of yours...veeerry closely.

Elevation,
N17 are quite popular in Greece - Especially with the young people. It is the establishment that does not want them, because they mess with their plans. Read between the lines - Not all terrorist groups are the same - some have higher aims unlike a terrorist group killing innocent children for some stupid religious claim. I find it disconcerting when the oppressed defend the oppressors. I guess it is that slave mentality that constitutes modern thinking. Hey you know what why don't you all believe in something, N17 does.

Machine10- get a life. N17 believes in a lot of things. So do Al- Qaeda. So does Hamas. Some of their beliefs are actually noble. However, their tactics completely destroy every shred of nobility they may have had. There are other ways to go about working toward your desires, especially in a free, democratic society like Greece. November 17 is a dangerous threat and I am very happy that they finally have some kind of information on this plague.
 
2002-07-05 12:02:22 AM
I thought the headline read "Greece closer to becoming the 'Number 17' anti-American terrorist group."

I was confused as to why that would get a 'Cool' tag.

Okay stop laughing. It's midnight. I'm tired.

Theoretical News Headline:

"50 Million people wiped out in strange biological attacks across Europe, Africa and Asia.

Guranteed US Fark.com post responses:

"Yawn". "Who cares? How does this affect the real world?" "This gets posted and my story about the Mets trade didn't? This is bullshiat." "Who cares about Europe, hey did you read about so and so celebrity who got caught sticking a hooker's thumb in his ass? I've been watching the live telecast about it on CNN for the last six hours."

Ever eat a gyro?
 
2002-07-05 12:22:40 AM
yeah i was in greece and natives were telling me how they thought N-17 was really CIA. rumor of course. greeks seem to blame everything on the CIA, even bad weather.

anyway N-17 is an amazingly secretive group. supposedly might have a lot of government ties. would make sense since no one's been caught *ever*. they take off on motorbikes. scary bad ass.

g w o o l (greek boobies) NSFW
 
2002-07-05 12:55:00 AM
maybe they are massoud agents :) anyway who says forcing socialism on someone is a noble. Seems lots of people like to bash the rich here.....and yet i bet everyone here desires to be rich, unless you are one of these socialist dinks that wants to spread poverty equally
 
2002-07-05 01:27:37 AM
Again, I am not bashing the rich since I am quite wealthy. I am bashing the irresponsible who create wealth by misery. You can be a conscientious wealthy person.
 
2002-07-05 03:14:03 AM
Machine10,
If you have ever read Karl Marx, the Father of Socialism, you would know that you cannot BECOME wealthy without the exploitation of the proletariat (or, "the workers"). You cannot have this argument both ways. If you are a "conscientious wealthy person" (as you say you are) and a true socialist, then you must not be getting any sleep at night due to your hypocritical behavior.

Greek, you are right on. N17 is a plague. Be it N17 or Hamas or Al-Qaeda, when innocent people are killed due to someone ELSE'S beliefs, then there is a serious problem going on.
 
2002-07-05 03:16:07 AM
That N17 guy who was caught had the bomb he was carrying explode in his hand. He was also carrying a gun linked to half a dozen assassinations and the keys to a compound full of rockets, weapons and ammo. I think a "Dumbass" tag would've suited this story better.
Oh, I almost forgot. Machine, get a life.
 
2002-07-05 04:02:08 AM
MAchine : Stop pulling facts out of your ass. Popular with the young people ?! What.The.fark.

The only reason not a single memeber's ever been captured is because the Greek police sucks immense quantities of ass.

And if you think this is gonna bring about a resolution, i say HA!

Oh and a few "innocent" people have been killed . Collateral damage ya see. To their...ummm credit i surpose , they don't go for mass city-square-bomb murder but target individuals.
 
2002-07-05 07:48:11 AM
DeNiro said it best in "Analyze This"-
"ahhh, the farkin' greeks"
They (greek authority-whatever that is) LET the N17 exist because-
a) they fear them
b) they support them
c) they are all fellow NAMBLA members
 
2002-07-05 03:00:06 PM
First of all, I enjoy exploiting the proles. Second, who told you I was Marxist. By the way, hypocrisy is what built the U.S. and in so I follow the same tenets. Turn On, Tune In, and Drop Out Cowboys and Cowgirls. Fight the real power - Don’t do what daddy tells you.
